What’s the buzz on Twitter?

The Warriors use a chunk of their tax mid-level to land Donte DiVincenzo, who is coming off a down year between Milwaukee and Sacramento but should be an excellent fit in Golden State’s system. – 7:24 PM

More than anything, I think Donte DiVincenzo is competition for Moses Moody. If Moody is as good as the Warriors hope? I don’t see DDV playing much. But if he needs more time to develop? You have another veteran in place. – 7:23 PM

I said Monte McNair needed to show his reasoning for not giving Donte DiVincenzo the qualifying offer. He has done that and then some.
Say what you want about his first couple offseasons, but McNair sure isn’t being passive this summer. – 1:30 PM

Donte DiVincenzo hasn’t signed anywhere yet and I’m already confident he’ll be my favorite buy-low pickup of free agency. – 1:24 PM

Can’t wait to see what the Donte DiVincenzo market ends up being. That’s an interesting one. – 9:57 AM

Kings don’t extend qualifying offer to Donte DiVincenzo, let him become unrestricted free agent nba.nbcsports.com/2022/06/29/kin… – 8:50 PM

The Sacramento Kings have declined the qualifying offer for guard Donte DiVincenzo (worth $6.6 million), according to sources. I’m told that the team remains interested in the former Villanova star. – 5:15 PM

More on this storyline

 

A name to watch could be Kings wing Donte DiVincenzo, now a UFA after Sac didn’t make him QO. Raps had interest in Bucks wing Pat Connaughton’s until he picked up option on his deal. DiVincenzo would meet a lot of the same criteria, is younger, and a better play maker. With the Spurs in tank mode, you wonder if Toronto will try to find a way to deal for Jakob Poeltl. Raptors have tried to reacquire their former draftee multiple times, but never gaining any traction. Perhaps circumstances favour a deal now? It’s got to be killing Raps that OKC’s Lu Dort became an RFA while training under Nick Nurse at OVO Centre w/ Canada Basketball. Not that Raps could realistically sign the elite defender — even if they offered the full MLE, OKC would obviously match. Nice to dream tho. /4. -via Twitter @michaelgrange / June 30, 2022
